Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I am an integrative Counsellor, which means I am trained in all the main theories and types of counselling. After over 20 years of working with people, I am able to tailor what I do to the needs of each person. But there is one main thread running through my practice, it is the compassion focused. This way of working has allowed me to help resolve difficulties caused by Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Loss, PTSD... It is a transformative work.
About me and my practice
What you can expect when working with me is that we will together find your way to a more peaceful, and meaningful life.
Because we do not chose our family of origin, our social background and if we were supported and nurtured to be the best version of ourself, the work we will do together will allow you, to chose who you want to be and get more of what you want in your life. By developing your self-compassion, you will walk away from self-doubt and self-criticism. You will find that encouraging and supportive side, most of us have left behind, when we internalised, criticisms or even abuse, when life became so difficult that we started to blame and doubt ourselves. This in time you help you tuned back into the real you, you will then find it natural, to go out in the world and be who, deep down you know you can be.
The great news is: it is not a long and painful path. It is a great journey of self discovery.
